George Johnstone (British Army officer)
- ... that although they were positioned just a few miles away the soldiers of George Johnstone's brigade were unaware of the Battle of Waterloo taking place? "the 6th brigade ... halted, piled arms in the drizzling rain, lit their fires on the sodden ground, and waited through that memorable day and night, unconscious of what was passing a few miles off on the field of Waterloo. Nothing was heard of known of the battle ..."
- Comment: The brigade was positioned about a mile south south west of Halle, Belgium, by Google Maps within 7 miles of the western edge of the battlefield.
